Actress Han Ga-in, who recently suffered from malicious comments due to comedian Lee Soo-ji‘s ‘Daechi Mom parody’, has revealed her views on raising children.

Han Ga-in appeared as a guest on the tvN entertainment program ‘You Quiz on the Block’ (hereafter ‘You Quiz’) that aired on the 26th.

On that day, Yoo Jae-suk asked Han Ga-in, “You must be busy raising your children. How is your daily life?”.

Han Ga-in said, “Except when I’m filming, I live a completely motherly life. My first child is in elementary school and my second child is in kindergarten. One day, my second child said he wanted to quit kindergarten. When I asked why, he said, ‘I want to play with mom more.” So I said, ‘Then quit.’. Now, she and I are raising our children 24 hours a day. I promised to go starting in March.”

She continued, “I didn’t send either of them to kindergarten and had home care. I felt like I hadn’t been able to spend time with my second child because I was taking care of my first child, so I thought I should spend more time with my second child.”


Han Ga-in said, “I have something I want to say today,” and explained, “People think that I make the kids study a lot and control them because of my image, but that’s absolutely not true.”

She continued, “My first child always talks about the academy he wants to go to. I was worried that he might quit right away, so I promised him, ‘I’ll go for at least three months.’ One day, after only two months, he said, ‘Mom, I can’t go to this academy.’ When I asked why, he said, ‘The teacher doesn’t give me time to think.’ So I told her, ‘I made a promise with my mom, so let’s go two more times. If you agree with me, then stop,‘“ she said, sharing an anecdote.

Han Ga-in said, ”After the academy, all the mothers were standing around, and suddenly a kid from far away said, ’I won‘t come back after you come twice.’ I didn‘t even tell the teacher, and I was so embarrassed. I said, ’Get in the car quickly.‘ Then he said, ’It‘s the last day!’ These are not kids that I would tell to study for,“ she laughed.

Meanwhile, Han Ga-in recently made the video of her children‘s academy riding that she had posted on her YouTube channel private. It seems that this is because some netizens left malicious comments on Han Ga-in’s riding video after the ‘Daechi Mom parody video’, in which Lee Soo-ji put forth the character of ‘Daechi-dong Mom Jamie Mom’, became a hot topic.
